New World City

Rumsugar darling: damask and mocha,
The almond eyes so exotic
The music on the soundtrack — meringue and soca
The nudes on the screen — so erotic
The son of a Scottish bureaucrat
Lorenzo née Lawrence O
Looks down from a 40-story ziggurat
In downtown Tokyo

For his latest album, the last book he read
The demimonde of the Borgias
The devil you say — hey it's all in your head
And the flesh, anyway, is gorgeous
Or maybe that guru physicist
The Chaos-Beat of the Heart
A New Age sermon — it's very German
But sweet thing is it art?

Oh no

Tomorrow he'll be halfway around the world
In a studio in Alabama
Then a day trip to study songs of the oppressed
Peoples of Louisiana
Devious brogue: baroque or rococo?
Baronial or Byronic?
Well the Thames is the Congo is the Orinoco
His detachment is not ironic
